B-2 Bomber Reportedly Spotted Over Turin as Open-Source Reports Point to Iran Mission

Open-source accounts link recent local sightings to a long-range operation over Iran that authorities have not confirmed.

Overview

  • Welcome to Turin shared a March 5 photo of a flying‑wing aircraft resembling a B‑2 over the city, followed by an image published by Il Risveglio showing a similar jet above Cafasse.
  • Local reports placed the aircraft near the security perimeter of Caselle airport and close to Leonardo technology facilities.
  • Testimonies cited by Il Risveglio described seven Italian Air Force C‑130 cargo planes landing in tight sequence at Caselle, an uncommon air bridge for the airport.
  • Italmiradar and DefenceGeek reported that four B‑2s, identified as PETRO 41‑44, flew a non‑stop early‑March mission from Whiteman Air Force Base to Iran supported by at least 13 aerial refueling tankers.
  • The coverage relies on tracker data, social‑media photos and intercepted radio traffic, and there has been no public confirmation from U.S. or Italian officials.
